Well, obviously JAF is an acronym, but it's a nice acronym. It's easy to say,
it's short and it drops easily into conversations. In my case it's short for
*John A Fotheringham*. So short in fact, that people actually call me Jaf.
But elsewhere in the world what, who and where are the JAFs?
Note, this page was updated in Feb '2000, at which time all links were valid.
In the process I had to discard just under 50% of the links that used to be
on this page, and some of the links are less obviously JAF-related than when
I first found them. Don't let anyone tell you JAF's don't move!

Argentina
---------
Well I will confess to not knowing much about Argentina, but it seems
- They know how to [[HYPERLINK URL,"http://www.pistas-candentes.com.ar/","rock and roll"]] (Shockwave and a knowledge of Spanish required).

Czech Republic

all looks a little [[HYPERLINK URL,"http://www.piscia.comp.cz/crs_jc/JAF_cz.htm","fishy"]] to me.
Finland
-------
- The Finns have a callable JAF. Well I'm callable too, after a fashion,
but to the Finns JAF is a [[HYPERLINK URL,"http://www.math.hut.fi/~apiola/genmex/d02/jaf.html","mathematical algorithm"]].
Remember, do 2 JAF what you would have JAF do to you
France
------
There are lots of JAF's in France. It's something to do with the letter
*F*, which is understandable, as I've always been rather
fond of it myself. So..
- You can spend a fortnight reading all about [[HYPERLINK URL,"http://logic.pdmi.ras.ru/jaf14/jaf14.html","weak arithmetic"]].

I'm a [[HYPERLINK URL,"http://www.onyxnet.co.uk/clients/mastrad/jafcalor.htm","teapot!"]].
Well, no. Actually I'm a [[HYPERLINK URL,"http://www.pandora.co.uk/clients/mastrad/jafcalor.htm","calorimeter"]] but teapot sounds better, and is basically the same
